BURLINGTON, Mass., April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DynamicOps, provider of the leading cloud automation and management platform, today announced that it has been named a "Cool Vendor in Cloud Management, 2011" by Gartner, Inc.  Authored by Gartner Research Vice Presidents Milind Govekar, Cameron Haight and Donna Scott, the report highlights a select group of vendors that are innovative, impactful, and intriguing.

According to the report, Gartner's 2011 CIO survey identified cloud computing as the top strategic technology investment for CIOs globally, and enterprises are increasingly implementing private clouds and using the public cloud for additional, on-demand capacity.  It recommends that users take advantage of breakthrough innovations in cloud computing management to improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of their infrastructures, and that they should favor providers that have built strong partnerships with larger vendors and carefully evaluate vendors' go-to-market strategies, as well as their technologies.

More and more enterprises are turning to DynamicOps Cloud Automation Center for the flexibility and control it enables as they move to private and public clouds.  And with its strategic, multi-year agreement with Dell, where DynamicOps is a foundation of the Dell Virtual Integrated System, the company is poised for continued success.
